FAQ - NexaRob, Robotics, Automation, Future

Discover the foundations and ideas that connect NexaRob with partners in the "win-win" model.

General information about cooperation

In this section, we explain the basic principles of our cooperation. You will learn who we are, how our cooperation model works, and why we believe the shared involvement of all parties determines success. We also address general questions about what NexaRob offers specialists who want to join the contractor network.

NexaRob integrates robotic and automation solutions for industry. We carry out both conventional industrial robot deployments, including welding, palletizing and material handling, and advanced projects using AI, cobots and vision systems. We need collaborators with diverse competencies, from robot programmers and PLC engineers to ROI consultants, installers and service technicians. This enables us to provide customers with comprehensive services.

"Win-win" means that every party to the cooperation, NexaRob, the contractor and the end customer, gains tangible benefits. Specialists receive attractive compensation and development opportunities, customers gain access to reliable services and technologies, and NexaRob builds a stable network of professionals who help carry out diverse implementations effectively.

Yes. There are shorter projects, such as programming a robot for a specific task or one-time upgrades, as well as implementations in large factories and production networks that last for months or years. Collaborators can participate in selected individual assignments or stay with us longer and take part in subsequent projects.

We serve industries including food, automotive, chemical, electronics, packaging, and metal. Projects can range widely, from standard welding robot implementations to complex lines integrated with AI, cobots, and vision systems. We also create solutions for innovative sectors such as agriculture, medicine, and logistics, and we are continually looking for additional specialists in these areas.

You can use the form available on our "Cooperation" page or send us an email describing your experience (CV, GitHub/LinkedIn link). After reviewing your application, we will invite you to an interview if your skills match current or planned projects.

Although many projects require solid experience, we are also open to working with less experienced people who have strong technical foundations and a willingness to learn. In such cases, your commitment and ability to develop skills quickly are essential, and we will provide appropriate support and mentoring.

We most often cooperate through B2B agreements or project contracts, which means having your own business or being ready to establish one is welcome. If a project requires physical work at the customer's site, liability insurance is often also necessary, for example in case equipment is damaged. We always discuss these matters individually depending on the nature of the tasks.

We do not require exclusivity, provided the contractor can meet obligations on time and does not breach confidentiality clauses. Many people combine assignments from NexaRob with other projects, allocating time and resources according to individual arrangements.

If a project is international, involving a team from different countries or documentation from a robot manufacturer, knowledge of English can be essential. In strictly local tasks, proficiency in the customer's language may be more important. We always try to communicate clearly what level of language communication is required.

We carefully match contractor profiles to projects, taking into account required technologies, industry, location (if onsite work is needed), timeliness and expected rates. The more closely your skills match current needs, the greater your chance of being engaged.

Usually, it is enough to complete your part of the work reliably, deliver results on time, and maintain good communication with the team. A positive assessment from the coordinator and customer means your name is placed on the "shortlist" for future implementations. In addition, if you develop new competencies, for example training in AI or vision systems, you increase your chances of participating in more ambitious projects.

The range is very broad. Some projects, such as a minor modification of robot code, may be completed within several days or a few weeks, while a comprehensive production line with multiple robots and vision systems may take up to more than a year. We aim to communicate the expected duration clearly as early as the team formation stage.

We most often cooperate on a contract basis (B2B), which makes it easier to combine our projects flexibly with other assignments and gives greater freedom in time management. Depending on the market and industry, we also allow other forms of employment if both parties prefer them.

Where possible, we provide materials and training such as webinars, documentation and consultations with experienced engineers. We want you to be able to develop your skills freely and provide services at the highest possible level.

We organize regular online workshops and presentations, share educational resources, and often cooperate with robot or controller manufacturers that also offer official courses. The greater your knowledge, the better for all parties.

Depending on project needs and available partner programs, we can help arrange certified training, for example from ABB or FANUC. In some cases, we cover part of the cost if the training is important to the success of planned implementations.

In most projects, NexaRob acts as the integrator and remains the main point of contact for the customer. In some situations, such as when a technical presentation is required, you may be asked to consult directly with the customer. This depends on your role and preferences.

As an integrator, we take responsibility for mediation and explaining the situation, working to find an optimal solution that satisfies both parties. Our goal is to maintain a win-win partnership approach, so we focus on honest communication and compromise.

Many projects, especially physical robot installation, assembly work, or service work, require liability insurance to protect you, NexaRob, and the customer in the event of unforeseen incidents. If you do not yet have a policy, we can help find an appropriate solution.

Our standard model includes hourly compensation, fixed fees or a defined project rate. In exceptional cases involving large and groundbreaking projects, we may consider sharing both risk and profit. Terms of this type of partnership are negotiated individually based on the contractor's contribution and responsibility.

Requirements and Operating Principle

In the "Requirements and operating model" section, we discuss the formal and technical aspects of cooperation. You will find information about required competencies, documents, insurance, and certificates, as well as how projects are coordinated. We believe that transparent procedures and clear arrangements are the foundation of effective cooperation.

We most often require collaborators to operate their own business, B2B, or be willing to establish one. In some countries and projects, a civil-law agreement or contract is sufficient. Liability insurance, for example for robot service or installation work, is also important where projects involve physical work on machinery.

We value practical skills most because projects are often focused on rapid deployment. However, if you have a strong theoretical foundation, for example as a recent robotics or mechatronics graduate, and perform well in test assignments, we may consider cooperation and provide a mentor who will introduce you to practical project work.

After reviewing your profile, including skills, preferences, and availability, we match you with projects that best fit your abilities and interests. We also take geographical factors into account if on-site work is required, as well as project schedules. We aim to distribute assignments evenly among proven collaborators.

It depends on the type of project. If we are planning an implementation in an environment such as ABB RAPID and you have an official certificate, that is an advantage. However, lack of formal certification is not always an obstacle. If you have practical experience and pass internal verification, you may also receive an assignment.

A stable internet connection is essential, especially for remote work, along with software for writing code, such as an IDE and GIT repositories, and, where needed, tools for robot simulation or PLC analysis. Licenses are often supplied by us or by the manufacturer of the relevant technology. If you have your own tools and they are compatible with ours, you can use them.

This most often takes the form of technical discussions in which we ask you to describe previous projects, tools, and technologies you have used. We may also provide a practical task, such as a short fragment of code controlling robot movement, to assess coding quality and understanding of the programming platform.

Yes, for most projects requiring physical presence at the client's facility, we recommend, and often require, liability insurance to protect you in the event of unforeseen property damage or accidents. Clients may also explicitly require contractors to provide proof of a valid policy.

We generally appoint a project leader or coordinator, who may be a NexaRob engineer or an experienced external partner. We use task management tools such as Jira, Trello, and Asana to divide work into sprints or stages. We communicate through video conferences, Slack, and email so everyone knows the status of other team members' work.

Yes. Before implementation, we make every effort to provide all necessary procedures and safety instructions related to operating robots or machines. If the work requires detailed knowledge of local occupational safety regulations, we help find additional information and consult regional safety experts.

We usually use hourly rates and a shared time tracking system (for example, a tool for logging task hours). We can also settle a fixed fee for a specific scope. In this case, we estimate how long a given functionality will take and agree on a total amount. The terms are determined individually for each project.

Yes, we often ask for references from previous employers or contractors to verify the reliability and timeliness of your work. This is standard practice in the robotics and automation industry, where trust and quality of execution are essential.

Typically, the result of programming or design work becomes the property of the end customer, or NexaRob if specified in the agreement. However, if you have proprietary libraries or modules that you want to use in the project, we can agree on specific terms. All IP details are defined in the agreement.

NexaRob obtains most assignments and coordinates contracts with end customers. As a specialist, you join the projects we offer you. However, if you have an idea for a project in your region and want to involve NexaRob as the integrator, we are also open to such a proposal and to a possible referral commission.

We most often use Slack or Microsoft Teams for day-to-day communication, Zoom, Google Meet or Teams for video conferences, and Trello or Jira for project tasks. Code is stored in Git repositories such as GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab. We prefer every team member to participate actively in these tools so information can be exchanged continuously.

To a large extent, yes. When you receive a project proposal, you can initially review its scope, deadlines, and rates. If the project suits you, we sign a contract. If not, we wait for another one that better matches your preferences or availability.

A NexaRob coordinator usually collects weekly reports, sprint reports, or implementation-phase updates and presents them to the client in an agreed format, such as a PDF report or videoconference. If additional presentations are required, you may be invited to participate in the meeting, particularly when your role has been important to delivery.

Absolutely. On many production lines, a customer may have robots from different manufacturers or combine AI or IoT platforms with different control environments. NexaRob creates multidisciplinary and multiplatform teams to comprehensively support such implementations.

NexaRob acts as a mediator. We aim to quickly identify the causes of misunderstandings and find satisfactory solutions in line with the "win-win" principle. If the situation requires more serious intervention, we involve the project coordinator or NexaRob management.

Yes. NexaRob collects documentation and established best practices for programming, testing, and the safety of automation systems. You will receive access to these resources to accelerate work and maintain a consistent level of quality throughout the project.

If we carry out projects that require international shipments or equipment deliveries, NexaRob usually manages the logistics process. As a contractor, you do not need to handle formalities unless your scope includes independent distribution of components. In that case, we explain which responsibilities are yours and which are handled by NexaRob.

These 20 questions and answers should help you understand the requirements and rules at NexaRob, how we coordinate technical tasks, and how we cooperate under a win-win model. We hope they clarify any doubts about work organization, the role of coordinators, or safety standards. If you still have questions, please contact us directly. We will be happy to provide further details and make it easier for you to join our contractor network.

Learn the principles of cooperation in an international environment and flexible project delivery models

Remote Work, Travel and Cultural Differences

NexaRob operates globally, and our partners and customers come from many countries. In this section, we present the principles of remote cooperation, describe opportunities for remote work, and explain when travel to an implementation site is necessary. We also discuss cultural and language differences so that everyone knows how to work effectively in an international environment.

Yes, many tasks, including robot programming, AI data analysis, and PLC system design, can be performed entirely remotely. However, some projects require physical presence for robot installation or calibration, making travel to the site necessary. We are flexible and try to adapt the scope of work to each person's capabilities.

We schedule videoconferences or daily stand-ups so that all parties can participate. We usually try to find middle-ground meeting times so everyone can join without disrupting their daily routine.

Yes, if the project requires an on-site presence at the customer's location. We discuss this individually in the agreement, for example travel rates and allowances. NexaRob usually arranges or reimburses transport and hotel costs, while the contractor focuses on technical tasks.

Communication is often conducted in English, but when a local language is essential, such as French, German, or Japanese, we use translators or local NexaRob partners. At the same time, we encourage contractors to develop their language skills.

Of course. Before signing a project agreement, we determine whether physical presence at a particular location will be required and whether you are comfortable with that. If travel does not suit you, we will look for a fully remote assignment or one in another region.

We most often use team communication platforms such as Slack, Teams, and Zoom, along with code repositories such as GitHub and GitLab. The project leader coordinates information flow. Multicultural teams work according to shared standards and schedules, minimizing the risk of misunderstandings.

No, we usually determine the best option together. NexaRob can suggest specific hotels or arrange flight bookings for you. All formalities are set out in the agreement or an addendum concerning business travel.

NexaRob aims to provide contractors with the basic rules and standards applicable in a given region. For longer projects, we sometimes organize short cross-cultural training to facilitate cooperation and communication with local engineers or customers.

Usually, the local customer or NexaRob provides the tools and measuring equipment required on site. You bring your laptop (if necessary) and any software needed for your part of the work. We agree on all of this before the trip.

Deadlines result from arrangements with the customer and the project schedule. If, for example, installation must take place in a specific week, we have to adhere to it. There are also more flexible tasks, especially when work is spread over time and does not depend on a single critical deadline.

Health and liability insurance are important. NexaRob typically takes such risks into account in project documentation and aims to assist with arranging medical help or covering return-travel costs. Details are discussed when signing the agreement to avoid complications during the project.

Yes, in most cases we use time tracking tools, especially when billing by the hour. If the project is billed at a fixed price, we report task progress according to the agreed arrangements. This helps us maintain transparency and an effective flow of information.

We provide organizational assistance and guidance regarding visa applications, especially for travel outside the Schengen Area or to countries with stricter regulations. Details depend on the specific case, but NexaRob usually takes responsibility for checking formal requirements.

We use testing procedures such as code reviews, simulation tests, and integration tests and use platforms for recording results. If physical robot testing is required, we work with a local partner who conducts the tests and provides us with data in the form of video or reports.

Yes. NexaRob typically provides access to cloud services such as AWS, Azure and GCP, where machine-learning models can be trained and deployed. If you have your own resources, such as GPU workstations, we can use them provided this is consistent with project requirements and security documentation.

We usually determine which calendars and holidays need to be taken into account to avoid delays. If you work in a region with a different holiday system, for example, we try to reflect this in the schedule so you can work under optimal conditions.

From time to time, yes. We sometimes invite key specialists to company events, training sessions, or industry conferences to strengthen relationships and integrate the team. However, this is not the rule for every project.

We place great emphasis on regular communication. Leaders are available during agreed hours, usually within time ranges that account for time zone differences, and you can also use Slack / Teams channels for quick questions. For more complex matters, we organize ad hoc meetings or video mentoring.

If a project is long-term and strategically important to NexaRob, we sometimes co-finance language courses or intercultural training, especially when customer relationships require a better understanding of local realities. We discuss this solution individually.

Yes, no one is forced to participate in projects they consider risky or inconsistent with their safety standards. NexaRob aims to provide contractors with reliable information about the project location so they can make an informed decision. If you do not accept certain conditions, we will look for another project for you.

Remote work and travel to customers in different parts of the world are an inherent part of international automation implementations. Thanks to transparent procedures and support from the NexaRob team, cooperation runs smoothly even in the face of cultural differences or language barriers. We hope the questions and answers above will help you understand how we carry out global projects in practice. If you still have questions or need detailed arrangements, please contact us.

Learn How Project Settlements, Contracts and Other Legal and Financial Aspects Work at NexaRob

Financial Terms and Formalities

Cooperation with NexaRob under the "win-win" model includes transparent settlement rules, agreements and procedures that provide security and certainty for all parties. Below we present the most frequently asked questions regarding finances and formalities. If anything is missing, please contact us. We will be happy to discuss the details and clarify any questions.

We most often use a B2B model, based on cooperation with a sole proprietorship, or project contracts. In some cases, we also allow other forms depending on the local market and the expectations of both parties, such as civil-law agreements or even employment contracts in countries where this is tax-efficient.

It depends on the nature of the project. If tasks are precisely defined and short-term, fixed-price settlement is possible. For longer or more open-ended projects, we use hourly rates with time tracking (e.g. tools such as Toggl or Jira). Everything is agreed individually when signing the contract.

Our standard payment terms are 14, 21 or 30 days from the invoice date, depending on the region and local practices. Details are specified in the contract or financial annex. We want contractors to receive compensation on time and transparently.

Yes. When a project requires an on-site presence (for example, robot installation or line commissioning), we usually agree that NexaRob will reimburse travel and accommodation costs according to agreed rates or allowances. The detailed rules (hotel limit, transport, etc.) are specified in the contract.

Depending on the type and scale of the project, yes, especially for servicing or installation work where there is a risk of equipment damage or accidents. Liability insurance is the most common protection. In strictly remote projects (e.g. robot programming), an agreement protecting confidentiality and, where applicable, copyright is sufficient.

An advance payment system is possible (e.g. 30% at the start, 40% during the project, 30% upon completion) or monthly invoicing based on hours worked. We want both parties to feel secure. As the contractor, you have confidence in regular payments, while NexaRob can settle with the end customer proportionally to project progress.

Yes, this is a standard procedure. We work with customers from different industries, often handling sensitive data, so NDA agreements protect business and technological information. As a contractor, you agree not to disclose project details, code, or documentation to unauthorized persons.

Usually, the results of the work, including code, CAD designs and documentation, become the property of the end customer or NexaRob. Detailed arrangements regarding the transfer of copyright are specified in the agreement. If you contribute your own libraries or solutions to a project, we can sign an additional annex governing licenses and any fees for their use.

Yes. We are interested in long-term cooperation, so if your competencies expand and you bring greater value to projects, higher rates can be discussed. Higher-than-standard rates can also be agreed for complex or unusual tasks.

In most cases, NexaRob handles settlements with the customer, while you settle with us according to the rates agreed in the contract. If a problem occurs, such as the customer failing to pay on time, we assume the risk and handle collection matters. We aim to protect the contractor's interests and provide financial stability.

If the end customer withdraws and you have not completed all tasks, we settle the work completed to date, either hourly or according to progress. We may also propose another assignment to compensate for any lack of continuity. Details of such a Plan B are usually described in the agreement or an addendum.

Usually 1-2 weeks, provided that both parties are committed and have the necessary documents, such as tax and business registration details and any required liability insurance. For complex projects or work that requires additional clarification of conditions, such as tests or trial tasks, it may take slightly longer.

We do not have a fixed limit. Some specialists are engaged full-time (e.g. in large implementations), while others contribute several hours a week as consultants or part-time programmers. The important point is to clearly define your availability and the timeframes in which you can perform tasks.

We usually handle customs and tax matters, including cross-border settlements. If additional documentation is required, such as export certificates, in rare cases our legal department or external advisors help organize the formalities. As a contractor, you receive clear instructions on what to sign or what information to provide.

We may provide for contractual penalties, mainly when required by the end customer. However, we try to set them within reasonable limits appropriate to the level of risk. We value reliability, and in unforeseen situations such as equipment failure, we engage in dialogue and look for solutions instead of immediately enforcing penalties.

We most often use tools such as Toggl, Harvest, Jira time tracking or Trello with time-logging functions. We can also agree on another system, such as a spreadsheet or our internal portal. The important point is to ensure transparent and reliable settlements.

For fixed-budget projects, NexaRob handles negotiations with the end customer, while you work according to the agreed rates or scope. If hourly rates were used, additional time is settled according to the actual workload, provided the customer approves the budget extension. We try to avoid surprising anyone with costs, so rapid communication about potential delays is essential.

Most commonly in euros (EUR) or US dollars (USD), although other currencies are sometimes used depending on preferences. For local implementations, we most often use the currency of the country where the contractor or end customer operates. The most important point is to define everything in the agreement to avoid exchange-rate fluctuations and misunderstandings.

Yes, this is common practice. We agree on an exchange rate (e.g. the central bank average on the invoice date) and specify in the agreement which party bears any differences resulting from exchange rate changes. This gives you the freedom to issue invoices in your own currency while we confirm consistent settlement using the selected currency basis.

If someone needs confirmation or participates in a partnership program, such as EU funding, we can prepare certificates confirming our timely payments and transparent cooperation. We understand well that a company's reputation depends on trust and reliable relationships with contractors.

Financial conditions and formal matters are one of the foundations of successful NexaRob projects. We aim to make cooperation transparent and beneficial for every party while ensuring appropriate safeguards, such as insurance, NDA agreements, and intellectual property rules. If you still have questions, contact us. Together, we will find a suitable settlement model and establish principles that allow you to work comfortably in a win-win model.

See What Development Opportunities NexaRob Offers and How You Can Participate in Future Projects

Competence Development and Long-Term Collaboration

In the competence-development section, we describe how NexaRob supports training, workshops, and certification programs, as well as how you can advance or expand your skills in subsequent projects. You will also learn why we strive for long-term relationships with contractors and how a win-win model supports continuous professional development.

Yes. With every successfully completed assignment, your reputation within our network grows and so does your chance of receiving more responsible tasks. You can progress from carrying out individual assignments to becoming a technical leader, coordinator or mentor for less experienced specialists.

We organize webinars, online workshops and mentoring programs. We often cooperate with robot manufacturers such as ABB, FANUC and KUKA, providing access to official courses and certification. Collaborators who continuously expand their skills can receive more complex and better-paid assignments.

We do not guarantee a constant workload, but once cooperation has been proven, we tend to propose subsequent projects before the previous one is completed. We focus on long-term relationships, so when one implementation ends, we often invite collaborators to the next one if their skills and availability allow it.

Absolutely. If, for example, you started as a FANUC Karel programmer and later gained skills in AI vision systems, you can let us know that you are ready to take on tasks in that area. We will take your new skills into account when selecting projects.

We maintain internal repositories and documentation that we regularly update. When robot or controller manufacturers release new versions, we aim to keep collaborators informed and provide training materials. We also organize online meetings to discuss key changes in the industry.

Yes. If your market value increases through new skills and successful implementations, you can negotiate higher rates. NexaRob aims for your compensation to reflect your actual skills and contribution to the project.

We generally settle accounts using hourly or project-based rates. For exceptionally innovative R&D projects, there may be an option to join a company as a shareholder or participate in profits. Such cases are discussed individually and require a partnership agreement and aligned interests on both sides.

It is possible. If you have trusted engineers around you and want to carry out projects together, we can sign an agreement with your group or small company. Well-organized teams often have a better chance of being engaged in larger and more profitable projects.

In some situations, yes, especially if your profile is strategically important to NexaRob's development and both parties see long-term potential. However, we generally prefer a B2B model that provides greater freedom and flexibility.

Yes, during longer cooperation, project coordinators and technical leaders regularly summarize results and feedback. We can propose a development path for you, for example toward a team leader, mentor, or consultant role in future projects, and indicate areas where additional training would be beneficial.

Of course. If you want to share knowledge, for example by conducting webinars or internal workshops, NexaRob will support such an initiative. In the spirit of "win-win," your training skills can bring value to the entire ecosystem of collaborators and strengthen your reputation within the team.

Absolutely. NexaRob is open to R&D initiatives and product innovation. If you have an idea that could deliver tangible benefits, we would be happy to discuss it. We may initiate a joint pilot project or invite you to a team developing a new service.

It is natural that over time you may acquire new skills, for example moving from PLC programming to also becoming an AI expert. We are open to updating your profile. The more expertise you bring, the wider the range of projects you can carry out and, as a result, the higher the rates you can earn.

Yes. If you demonstrate not only technical skills but also organizational and communication abilities, you may be asked to take a leadership role in a future project. This usually involves greater responsibility and correspondingly higher compensation.

After completing an implementation or key stage, we conduct a short evaluation, for example in the form of a retrospective. You can indicate what surprised you and what could be improved. We then share feedback from the customer and project leader. This allows us to learn from each other and improve cooperation on future assignments.

Whenever possible, yes. NexaRob has a global network of partners and customers and actively conducts marketing activities. If we identify growing demand for automation services in your region, you may become a local implementation representative, which can be the next step in developing our cooperation.

For key projects and contractors who play a major role in the company's strategy, NexaRob may cover the costs of participating in important industry events, such as Hannover Messe or Automatica. We decide this individually, depending on the value a given specialist can bring to our activities.

We are open to such proposals. If you decide to develop installation or service operations within your own company, cooperation terms can be established under a partner-contractor model. We verify whether you meet quality standards and determine how profits will be shared. Everything is based on a win-win approach.

We use similar competency levels (junior, mid, senior) to make it easier to match projects to skills. When we verify your level, we indicate whether you are better suited to an assistant role in a project or prefer responsibility for key tasks. After several projects, we can formally "promote" you to regular/senior level in NexaRob documentation.

Yes. In most cases, after successful projects we can provide written references or a LinkedIn recommendation. We want our collaborators to gain recognition in the industry and expand their professional opportunities, even if they sometimes carry out other assignments alongside NexaRob projects.

Long-term cooperation with NexaRob is not only about completing individual assignments but also about actively building a development path in robotics and automation. Through systematic training, participation in new projects, and clear financial-settlement rules, we create an environment that supports your growth. If you want to engage for the long term, these 20 questions and answers should help you understand the range of opportunities offered by the "win-win" model proposed by NexaRob.
